Recall -- Firm Press Release

FDA posts press releases and other notices of recalls and market withdrawals from the firms involved as a service to consumers, the media, and other interested parties. FDA does not endorse either the product or the company.

As a precautionary measure, TOP Food and Haggen stores removed from sale all Setton Pistachio products on March 31st. This was done in response to a recall issued by Setton Pistachio on specific lots of its bulk roasted shelled pistachios. On April 6th, Setton Pistachio expanded its recall to include all roasted shelled and in-shell pistachios from its 2008 crop.

The Setton products that had been sold in TOP Food and Haggen stores until March 31st were:

Bulk in-shell roasted pistachios (PLU 8626)

Setton Farms Pistachios, 2-pound bag (UPC 34325-01042)

Setton Farms Pistachios, 1-pound bag (UPC 34325-01459)

Our Guests may return the product to a TOP Food or Haggen store for a full refund.

No known illnesses have been reported to date in connection with pistachios and pistachio products. Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
